Kork Coupons, asked about gay athletes: 'Nobody's perfect' [LOCKED]

“There are a lot of teammates in my locker room right now who may not have a homosexual lifestyle, but they have sins, too,” Cousins, a devout Christian, said Friday at NorthPointe High School in Grand Rapids, according to MLive.com. “They’re not perfect.

aren't you dismissing his opinion because it is different than yours? I support equality, but that goes in both directions. He isn't doing anything to harm an individuals or groups lifestyle...simply stating his belief based on many cultural factors.

Sure, he is free to state his beliefs, but it doesn't preclude him from criticism. I'm from the Grand Rapids/Holland area, and those protestant two-faces are as bigoted as they come. Screw Kork Coupons.

Nothing inherently wrong with the sentiment, but wording could be a LOT better.

If he is a devout Christian, I am sure many of Cousins' teammates live a lifestyle quite different from the one he aspires to lead but he accepts them as co-workers. I assume he means Sams would be no different.

(This coming from someone with a VERY different world-view than KC...)

Not everybody's the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, has sex with dudes, has sex with chicks, whatever. I think that people need a second chance, and I've always looked up to Mike Sam, and I always will.

Why do we need Kirk Cousins opinion on the subject? I don't really care what the guy thinks, but why does the asshat reporter need to ask that question? So we can alienate and marginalized a minority group? Sounds worthwhile. There is a special place in Hell reserved for popular media. Or there should be.

I don't think that's what he's saying - I think it's more like that sure homosexuality could possibly be a distraction, but that there are also people with violent histories or gang connections or drugs that are in fact distractions to the locker room but still are good players on the field
